- W36170814 abstract "This thesis is concerned with the quantitative study of certaincharacteristics of road traffic accidents, with particular. attentionbeing paid to the severity of injury sustained by the victims thereof.The results fall into two main groups: those dealing with thefrequency and severity of accidents to particular categories of road user, and those relating to a new theory of injury severity.The following is a list of the questions considered in thefirst of these groups: factors relating to the severity-of pedestrianinjury (with special attention to design of vehicle), factors affectingthe survival time of pedestrians killed in road accidents, relation of.model of car to degree of (a) leg, and (b) head injury of its driver,effect of vehicle, age and sex of driver, and locale. on (a) therelative numbers of single- and two-car accidents, and the,proportion of overturning in single-car accidents. Several sectionsof the thesis are devoted to developing appropriate. statistical:procedures for these analyses.The new theoretical framework for assessing-injury severitythat is proposed in the penultimate chapter quantifies the correlation.between the proportion of casualties who are killed and the proportionwho are seriously injured. Finally, this theory is used to. explainthe positive correlation that is empirically. found to occur betweenthe degrees of injury to the two drivers involved in two-vehicleaccidents when only a narrow range of mass ratios. is considered.A table of the major results in this thesis, together withsome lines for future research which they suggest, is given on pages 357-363." @default.
